The U.S. also appears to be throwing the book at Tehran, with Defense Secretary Rumsfeld recently accusing it of unspecified meddling in Iraq, and Secretary of State Rice calling Iran "the central banker for terrorism...

The very first sentence of the Report of the Committee on General Education appears to concur, noting that “a responsible education must help students develop their capacities for reasoning and for responsible judgment.” Though espousing these ideals, the report nevertheless fails to preserve perhaps the Core’s greatest virtue—a required component in morality and ethics.
